Pakistan team leaves for The Hague without key official

[bandit]

We are an ancient people for example my ancestor fought with Porus against Alexander, and we are here to stay, the indian state has tried to undermine our existence from the start, therefore it is our eternal enemy.

You missed the point, Indian state undermining you or not... this dam controversy is due to your own incompetency...if you come up with arguments concerning your ancestors....I cant debate that.

Microsoft, Age of Empires, Isnt it?

Still going strong at voobly....

Mate everyone is ancient people. What kind of statement is that.

Pakistan says that the Kishenganga dam project in Kashmir threatens its agriculture. How much truth lies in Islamabad's claim? Is Pakistan's agriculture totally dependent on Indus rivers?

Pakistan claims that the 100 km diversion of the Kishanganga river caused by the project, will affect roughly 133,000 hectares and 600,000 people who depend on agriculture and fisheries.

This claim still needs to be backed up with substantial evidence and transparent calculations. The Kishanganga project is currently in the Court of Arbitration -- the highest mechanism for dispute resolution provided under the IWT.

It is here that the legal differences over the interpretation of the treaty (whether this tributary of the Jhelum can or cannot be diverted) and the technical arguments over the design of the project will be decided by a team of international and Indo-Pak water experts.

The points of difference over the Kishanganga project are elaborated in much greater detail in the report but yes around 70-odd per cent of Pakistan's population and territory depends on the Indus River (the only other two rivers -- Makran and Karan provide an infinitesimal amount of water in Balochistan) and close to 95 per cent of the total water usage is dedicated to agriculture.

It is probably this huge dependence on the Indus river that drives Pakistan's 'lower riparian anxieties' (riparian area is the interface between land and a river or stream) a term used often by water expert John Briscoe. Pakistan's anxieties regarding shared waters should be addressed by all means but on the basis of fact and reason not emotions and misconceptions.

Who are yr people because my grandfather lived in Sindh in present day Pakistan so how are u unique to me?

You are an indian, and I am a Pakistani - your grandfather chose to become an indian - he has no right to the land he left.

Meaning that our people have lived on our land for thousands of years, and are not going anywhere, it was in reply to one of your compatriots who said that Pakistan would not be around for much longer.

Ah fair enough. Anyone who thinks that Pakistan is just going to disappear is delusional.

You are one of the few indian's on this forum - who I think is a genuinely nice fella. Not trying to generalize but non resident indians are not like many indians who you meet in india, maybe because you have actually interacted with people from the other side.

But who are 'you'r people because I trace my family roots to Sindh in present day Pakistan so that history belongs to me too.

I think everyone has their moments. No one here is evil exactly. Something or someone peeves a person off and then that person goes and vents it out on someone else. Its a viscous cycle

And yes interacting with people in real life definitely helps.

No no no History/rots depends on passports and visas according to our age of empires guy.

 

[Kazhugu]

Beats doing nothing. Your move was disregarding the Indus Water Treaty. That's your nation's action

that is pakistan's accusation...it may not be the truth as you might believe it to be....it maybe to hide its gross incompetency is managing its water resources properly and blaming it on evil india stealing the waters....

We will pay any compensation. We know we don't have a strong enough case or a good enough team representing us. However, if we do nothing, it will only encourage India to try and usurp more of our rights. We have to at least give you guys the discomfort of flying to the Hague each time we see that we are being treated unjustly.

that pakistan sees every time in india....govt tax money spent on pakistani executives flying on holidays to hague to argue meritless cases...well what has india got to loose ?

If you come and live in Pakistan and decide to make it your home, you could be a Pakistani - even a great one

Will you give me my grandfather's land back if i did?

 

[Rafi]

Proof of ownership and application for Pakistani nationality and acceptance - why not.

Rafi we the same people my grandfather had to leave the land due to partition not because he wanted to, it was the British who divided and ruled us there is no need to keep hate in your heart because i don't feel bitter it was a long time ago let's move on and share the water

Its going to be another Atlantique case all over again. Public tax funded Europe trip for Pakistani officials. And they ll have to foot the league bill again. Good luck

reminds me of how you sore losers spent an even larger amount of money to travel over a dozen countries, begging them to stop arms sales to Pakistan

so it works both ways
